1. Dont know much but I know it needs to be wrapped REALLY WELL to keep from drying out.

2. Sugar cookies work great for me. And I know some will throw things at me for this (throw cake balls pelase!! lol) but I use the betty C. sugar cookie mix, with a coupon for $1 off two bags they are just a dollar a bag and I get nothing but compliments for them.

3 I put the stick in before I bake. There are a lot of threads on this so try a search. Basically I just put my hand on the cookie and push in the stick once in I patch up any tears with more dough over the stick and pop in the oven. Just make sure it is well into the cookie. I push mine in 3/4ths the way.

Thanks, thanks Everyone! Awesome tips! I will check out all the links and places you have suggested. I think I 'll use that NFSC recipe I saw that some place on here but was not sure what i t meant ,but I'll keep the Betty idea for quickies. Not bad if it works well or if I'm on a budget. GREAT idea!
